...And my ability ( sorry, last post sent before finished!) to be active. When I was 14 I was told I would end up in a wheelchair if I didn't have a big op to straighten my spine. So now ok my body isn't a thing of great beauty, but I'm not in a wheelchair and I can do all sorts of activities. When I'm out walking I just feel so grateful, I'm so lucky. Sure, sometimes I get down vanity-wise and wish I had a beautiful figure and back... but then I remember the alternative and it's not so bad after all!

Love the journey as well as the results. And fall down 7 times, get up 8!

Today, I'm thankful for having a good grip on conscious eating. Yesterday, I had allowed myself 3000 calories, and it was my Indulgence Day and I'm on vacation, but ended up having only had 1100 at the end of the day. This is the focus I want and need for the rest of my life. Eat what I want, when I want, eat it consciously, and stay out of trouble. Life is good!

I went from morbidly obese to being the owner of TABDIG - a weight loss coaching service that helps people worldwide losing weight. It's been an amazing journey. From October 4th 2010 to April 3rd 2012 I lost half my body weight - 80 kilos/170 lbs. Since then, I have had two cosmetic surgeries to remove excess skin. I have now quadrupled my strength, gained several kilos in muscle mass, and today I focus on building muscle, optimizing my diet, living healthy and helping people to reach the very same goals. I am stronger, healthier, thinner, happier! If you feel that you need help losing weight, don't hesitate to send me an inbox message.

Today I'm thankful for another Sunday to share with God, Family, and Friends.

>>Eat what I want, when I want, eat it consciously, and stay out of trouble. Life is good!<< A nice sentiment and a good motto. Thankful today for being able to share in the various perspectives, viewpoints and sentiments that others provide.

"Bad things are like waves. They’re going to happen to you, and there’s nothing you can do about it. They’re a part of life, like waves are a part of the ocean. If you’re standing on the shoreline, you don’t know when the waves are coming. But they’ll come. You gotta make sure you get back to the surface after every wave. That’s all.”

I'm thankful today for Jesus saving me. Yesterday was a bear. I mean life in general not dieting. I thank Jesus that He was there for me and I hope He will always be there for me.

This wish goes out to all of you as well who are willing and able to believe and receive Him.

I'm grateful for this site. That someone cared enough to create a place like this that is free of charge and sensible and encourages self-motivation and self-reliance for making life changes. I'm especially thankful for all of you who share your wisdom, humor and encouragement. Checking in here with all of you daily keeps me on track. Better than any other approach I've ever taken to weight loss and health.

I am thankful to God for another day in which I can get out and move around and get fit. I am thankful that I am able to make a come back as far as my health is concerned.I have lost 4lbs. I have 55 to go.

Thankful for the opportunity to work with a couple of kids that have a rough home life situation and introduce them to a hobby that brings them some joy.
